DIGITAL IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: A CROSSSECTORAL SECURITY AND PRIVACY PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

As the digital ecosystem evolves, secure and efficient Digital IdentityManagement Systems (DIMS) have become pivotal in managing identities acrossgovernmental, financial, healthcare, and commercial sectors. This paper offers across-sectoral examination of DIMS, emphasizing security and privacy concerns andtheir mitigation strategies. Drawing on current technologies such as blockchain,biometrics, and zero-knowledge proofs, the study explores how these systems canprotect sensitive information while ensuring interoperability and compliance withregulatory frameworks. Through comparative analysis, graphical insights, and realworld case studies, the paper underscores the need for standardized and resilientidentity infrastructures that balance user privacy and system functionality
